A concertgoer has shared his experience of how he got injured during a recent Dua Lipa show in Kuala Lumpur, claiming that he needed seven stitches after being hit by a metal pyro tube.
The ‘Radical Optimism’ pop star played two concerts at the Axiata Arena in the Malaysian capital last weekend (November 23 and 24) as part of her current Asia tour.
Taking to Reddit, a fan claimed that he “got hit in [the] head by some pyrotechnical metal tube” at the second gig. He attached an image of himself with blood on his head and in his hair while being attended to by a medic.
The user explained in the comments that he had sustained the injury 15 minutes into Lipa’s performance, and said he then went to hospital for a CT scan. He said that he needed to have seven stitches, but had “no skull fracture”.
“My wife saw it and immediately called the security for help. By then, my head wouldn’t stop bleeding, and it kept dripping all the way until we got to the ambulance backstage,” he recalled.
“They took me and another woman, who was also injured by the metal tube after it ricocheted from my head, to the hospital.”
